MEL examples

// Compare two objects based on type and their relatives where one is in the namespace "base":
dagObjectCompare -t -r -n base

// Compare two objects based on their connections and attributes where one is in the namespace "base" , break on first error:
dagObjectCompare -c -a -b first

// Compare two objects based on their type, connections, attributes, relatives and break on error while finishing current category:
dagObjectCompare -t -r -c -a -b category -n base
